Yes all aircraft have a range- “Normal” which is the range the aircraft can travel carrying a full payload (in your case, Kates carrying torps, which is 7 hexes) and an “extended” range, which is the range the aircraft can fly with a reduced payload (2x250 kg bombs, in the Kate’s case) Look in the Aircraft database as well as clicking on the “Aircraft Data” button to be able to see the normal, extended, and maximum ranges that an aircraft can fly. As for your second question, it really depends on the player. For myself I enjoy using the CVE’s that the IJN possess to form “Mini-Butai” air combat TF’s that are used in conjuction with KB during fleet operations. One thing to consider is that CVE’s can perform air operations on coastal hexes without any penalties. So with that, CVE’s can be used as a CAP trap against enemy aircraft attacking your Amphib TF’s during invasions. Just my 2 cents.
